Mr Lidington
I replied to that point at some length in response to my right hon. Friend the Member for Wokingham, and I have nothing to add to those comments.
Dr Andrew Murrison (South West Wiltshire) (Con)
I thank my right hon. Friend for giving way; he is being very generous. The Labour party talks about isolation and influence, but does he recall the influence exercised by the right hon. Member for Paisley and Renfrewshire South (Mr Alexander) when he surrendered the 1984 £7 billion rebate in return for a whole load of waffle about the common agricultural policy that, of course, has resulted in precisely no action whatsoever?
